Leon Best dropped by Ipswich

[LamieRobertson]

McCarthy is likely to find himself "dropped" by Ipswich quite soon

One wonders where the board at Ipswich see the club going..how much of the Murphy money was allowed for buying players

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Most woeful striker ever to play at The Amex? Awful, just awful.

Yep, just edging out Billy 'Barn Door' Paynter, Jon Obika, and that Rodrigues chap.

I think they are historically one of the most sensible boards and not known for knee jerks re sackings?

My comment was more tongue in cheek. I imagine he's safe...ish

Another player who is wasting his talent and opportunity, makes you wonder if in years to come he will look back and regret not applying himself enough.

I guess I'm not in a curious mood today.

Add a uninterested Bent to that list, the way he dived on the floor waving to be taken off when we were 2-0 against Ipswich (i think) was disgraceful clearly did not want to be here in a relegation scrap... actually played better when he went off I think we drew 2-2

Cool.

Supposedly told Mick Mccarthy he was 'F*cking clueless' as he was substituted after doing nothing against Non-League Lincoln in the cup.... or that's where it stemmed.

On the subject of Mick Mccarthy, I think he's very underrated as a manager. That Ipswich squad is absolutely turd, having been forced into selling Darryl Murphy (top scorer) and being given next to nothing to replace him (hence Leon Best), he's actually done pretty well to take them to 6th and 7th in previous 2 seasons (again having had no money at all in comparison).

True enough, but he did only play a few games, and at least bagged us a goal against Fulham.

why don't they pay up his contract now and just get rid of him rather than waste their time with coaching and physio and whatever other professionals time he is likely to take up as well as the negative impact he will have on other players

They are doing the whole of football a favour. If they pay him up now he'll still be able to join a new club (should any of them be stupid enough to want him) even once the window has closed as he'll be a free agent. Hopefully Ipswich will wait another week and then release him ensuring he cannot play league football for the rest of the season.

If he becomes a free agent he can sign for a new mug err I mean club outside the window can't he?

Just let him rot with the U21's!

 

[Dr. No]

was he ever good?

No.

Only if he becomes a free agent during this window. Rules prevent players who are released outside of a window playing for anyone until the next window opens. See what happened with Dean Cox for example, was released by Orient the day after the summer window closed, although he signed for Crawley he couldn't play for them until January.

Hand on heart does anyone, in all honesty, actually 'hate' to say 'I told you so'?
